Three days later, Konoha was silent.
Completely silent.
Not a single civilian.
Not a single clan member.
Not a single shinobi.
The entire village had been evacuated.
On the Hokage Rock, only a handful of people remained—Tsunade, Kakashi, Naruto, Sakura, Might Guy… and you.
They were the last witnesses to the end of Konoha.
Tsunade looked at the abandoned village with heavy eyes.
Then she turned toward you.
"Now everyone has left Konoha," she asked quietly. "What will you do now?"
You didn't answer.
Instead, you reached into your cloak and pulled out a familiar summoning scroll.
With a single seal, black flames flickered—and Yatagarasu appeared.
"KRAA!" the raven cried, wings spreading, flames licking its feathers.
You smiled faintly.
Yatagarasu tilted its head, confused by your expression.
Then—without warning—it flew straight toward you. Its feathers burst outward like a black storm, surrounding you in a massive swirl of black feathers.
The others stepped back instinctively.
The storm of feathers spun faster and faster until the world outside vanished.
And when you stepped out of the dark vortex—
you had entered Sage Mode.
Your eyes glowed.
Your chakra shifted.
Your presence became overwhelming.
---
You opened your Mangekyō Sharingan, its unique pattern spinning into life.
Then you activated your right-eye Mangekyō ability:
Ashihara no Michi — Path of a Thousand Steps.
In an instant, 32 future versions of yourself appeared around you, each identical, each radiating the same cold power.
All of you unfurled your wings at once—dark, flame-tipped, and vast—then rose into the air. The thirty-two of you spread out in a perfect circle around Konoha, surrounding it from every direction.
Then, simultaneously…
all thirty-two future selves manifested Complete Susanoo.
A ring of thirty-three colossal samurai avatars towered over the ruined village, their armors glowing with murderous chakra, their eyes burning like judgment itself.
Tsunade clenched her fists, finally understanding your intention.
Might Guy instinctively stepped forward, ready to open the Eighth Gate despite everything.
But Kakashi grabbed his arm before he could move.
"Guy… no."
Kakashi's voice was heavy—not with fear, but with acceptance.
Although he was heartbroken watching the end of Konoha… he was also relieved.
No one had died in the conflict.
Everyone had lived.
Everyone had a chance to start over.
And deep inside him, Kakashi felt something even heavier:
guilt.
He had been ANBU.
He had worked under ROOT.
He had spied on the Uchiha for years.
He had seen the cruelty of the system… and done nothing.
He always believed he was in debt to Obito.
And now, after everything that had happened, Kakashi could only think one thing:
Konoha deserved this fate.
He wouldn't allow Guy to throw his life away for a village that had already ended itself.
Naruto, on the other hand, trembled with anger—true anger, with murderous intent behind it.
But even he held it back.
Because he knew the truth:
He wasn't strong enough to stop you.
Not yet.
He also knew what had happened to the Uchiha clan.
He knew the darkness underneath the village.
He knew this wasn't simple destruction… it was judgment.
And so, Naruto stayed silent.
Above him, your thirty-three Susanoo stood ready.
Konoha's final moment was about to begin.
---
The 33 Susanoo raised their colossal weapons in unison.
Then, like a ring of divine executioners, they all attacked Konoha at once.
Blades of chakra, fists the size of mountains, shockwaves that tore the air apart—
all of it descended upon the village in a single, coordinated storm.
In just a few minutes,
there was nothing left.
No buildings.
No streets.
No monuments.
Not even the foundations.
Konoha became pure rubble, shattered earth and scattered dust—nothing more than a broken scar on the land.
And for the first time…
you felt happy.
A deep, quiet, strangely peaceful happiness rose inside your chest.
Your mind felt lighter—like a weight you carried since childhood had finally dissolved.
There should be only one Konoha, you thought.
The perfect one.
The one in your world.
There was no need for a twisted, corrupted version clinging to the last scraps of a map.
No need for a village built on lies, manipulation, and sacrifice to continue existing.
Konoha had ended.
And the world felt clean again.
---
A month later.
You had already built a small, quiet house on the now-flat land where Konoha once stood.
While resting inside, you suddenly felt a presence—
faint, familiar, unmistakable.
An Uchiha.
Your eyes narrowed.
You stepped to the door, opened it—
And Sasuke Uchiha stood there.
You looked at him for a few moments, observing him, scanning his chakra, his emotion, his Mangekyō aura.
Then you finally smiled slightly and said:
"Come in."
Sasuke nodded silently and followed you inside.
You poured tea for both of you, and he sat down with his usual cold, heavy gaze.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"Why have I never seen you before?"
You didn't get annoyed.
He was an Uchiha—one of your clan.
His directness didn't bother you.
You smiled lightly.
"Do you know Rōran?"
Sasuke nodded.
You continued,
"Well, in my world, there was a fluctuation in space-time near Rōran Dragon Vein. I went to investigate it. At that moment, the distortion activated and I was transferred into this world. When I arrived here, I learned what happened to the Uchiha clan… so I destroyed Konoha."
Sasuke nodded again.
He had already killed Itachi.
He had opened the Mangekyō.
He already knew the truth of the clan from Obito.
So he didn't feel anger at all that you destroyed Konoha.
If anything, he understood.
"So," Sasuke asked, "what will you do now?"
You answered calmly,
"I'm researching space-time techniques. Maybe that path will take me forward. Or… I may have to awaken the Rinnegan myself."
Sasuke leaned slightly forward.
"Is Rinnegan the next stage of the Mangekyō Sharingan?"
You nodded and explained:
"When the chakra of Indra and Asura merge, the Rinnegan awakens."
Sasuke frowned.
"What is Indra? What is Asura?"
You took a sip of your tea.
"The Sage of Six Paths—you know him, right?"
Sasuke nodded.
"He had two sons," you continued.
"Indra and Asura.
Indra inherited the immortal eyes.
Asura inherited the immortal body."
"To awaken the Rinnegan, you need both. That is why I said one needs both Indra and Asura's chakra."
Sasuke nodded slowly.
"…Can I awaken the Rinnegan?"
You replied:
"You are the reincarnation of Indra.
So you only need Asura's chakra.
But it may take a long time.
Madara awakened it only after decades."
Sasuke hesitated, then asked:
"Didn't Madara die at Hashirama's hands?"
You smiled faintly.
"He used a powerful forbidden Uchiha technique— Izanagi that rewrites death with the price of expending a Sharingan. He knew about the Rinnegan's conditions, so he bit off Hashirama's flesh—gaining Asura's chakra—and began fusing with it."
Sasuke wanted more information but, he didn't continue that thought.
So you asked him:
"What will you do now?"
Sasuke lifted his head, looking at the empty sky.
He had completed his revenge.
Konoha no longer existed.
There was nothing left to hate.
Nothing left to destroy.
His purpose had dissolved with the destruction of village.
When he learned that an unknown Uchiha had come from nowhere, killed the Akatsuki leader, Pain and destroyed Konoha alone, Sasuke came searching.
You said quietly:
"Why don't you start the Uchiha clan again?"
Sasuke didn't answer immediately.
Instead he asked:
"Is the Uchiha clan in your world still alive?"
You smiled.
"Yes. Very much alive.
And… there's a Uchiha Sasuke in my world too."
Sasuke's eyes flickered.
"…Are my mother and father alive?"
"…And Itachi?"
You nodded.
"They are all alive."
For the first time, Sasuke smiled at you.
He said:
"Well… for now, I will walk with you. We will relocate your timeline. After that… I will travel to your world.
There are no Uchiha left here.
So I have no reason to stay."
Hearing this, you also smiled slightly.
"Well then, Makoto will have another Uncle"
" Makoto ?? "
" UCHIHA MAKOTO, Itachi's son"
" WHATTTT ??? "
